THE FISHERY

Culliagh is a stretch on the River Suck locally known as Culliagh Boathouse on account of a small  old boathouse located beside the river here. There are favoured pegs both upstream and downstream from the boathouse so don't fish them all. Find a swim that you would like to fish a little way from the crowd and put in feed and wait to let the fish find you. Over a holiday generally it is not possible to over fish a swim so if you want to move pre-bait the new swim and give the fish reason to be there when you return.

FACILITIES AND ACCESS

This is an open bank venue adjacent to the boathouse. There are other sections also which can provide fishing. The track you drove down continues past the boathouse for some distance and leads to known hotspots. Many access stiles and footbridges will facilitate along the way. However there is still a walk of about 200 yards to get to most swims. A weed cutter attachment for your landing net handle may be a  useful item in your tackle-box to clean a bank swim when you arrive.

TO GET THERE

From Shannonbridge take the Ballinasloe road for about five miles. Look for a sign to the left for Culliagh. This is a couple of miles beyond the sign for Correen Ford. There is a track which leads down  to the river, a distance of about  three miles  Look out for the small boathouse and there you are !. Happy Fishing !
